Pattern separation, or the process by which highly similar stimuli or experiences in memory
are represented by non-overlap** neural ensembles, has typically been ascribed to …

Memory-based cognition depends on both the ability to remember specific details of
individual experiences and the ability to combine information across experiences to …

Risky decision-making lies at the center of the COVID-19 pandemic and will determine
future viral outbreaks. Therefore, a critical evaluation of major explanations of such decision …

Signal detection theory is one of psychology's most well-known and influential theoretical
frameworks. However, the conceptual hurdles that had to be overcome before the theory …

The remember/know (RK) procedure is the most widely used method to investigate
recollection and familiarity. It uses trial-by-trial reports to determine how much recollection …

False memories typically share semantic or surface features with actual experiences,
sometimes both. However, it is unclear whether false memories that are rooted in semantic …

Older adults' difficulty in distinguishing between old and new information contributes to
memory decline, which may occur because older adults are less likely than young adults to …

Over the last two decades, a wealth of research in the domain of episodic memory has
focused on understanding the neural correlates mediating false memories, or memories for …

Fuzzy-trace theory (FTT) emphasizes the use of core theoretical principles, such as the
verbatim-gist distinction, to predict new findings about cognitive development that are …

We provide an overview of neuroscience research on risky decision making, organizing
findings in an integrative theoretical framework aimed at elucidating mechanisms that drive …
